[@mjfan6294]

@@felixardoviera60 si mal no me equivoco es el Vintage Pop, o probablemente Jazz, no estoy completamente seguro

[@TheMattForbes]

@@felixardoviera60 Sorry I missed this -- the commenter below is correct...I call this 'vintage pop' but it's also known as "big band jazz", "swing music" or "traditional pop". I have a playlist on Spotify with a lot of this kind of music on it ("Vintage Pop: Crooners & Jazzers")
